We Should Soak Nuts Before Consumption. But Should We Also Soak Dry Fruits & Seeds As Well❓

YES, you should. 💡Soaking nuts like- almonds, cashews, walnuts etc. helps in : (⁠。⁠◕⁠‿⁠◕⁠。⁠)⁠➜Removing phytic acid & sulphite present in them which causes indigestion. (⁠。⁠◕⁠‿⁠◕⁠。⁠)⁠➜Also makes nutrients (protein, calcium, iron,zinc etc.) present in them more easily digestible & absorb better. (⁠。⁠◕⁠‿⁠◕⁠。⁠)⁠➜Makes it easier to remove the peels & improves their texture & flavour making them more soft & creamy. 📝You get the similar benefits from soaking your seeds as well( in addition to these soaking also activates their sprouting process) 💡Soaking your dry fruits like- dates,figs, raisins etc. helps in : (⁠*⁠❛⁠‿⁠❛⁠)⁠→Removing the sulfite present on their surface. (⁠*⁠❛⁠‿⁠❛⁠)⁠→Making them easily digestible & making the essential nutrients present in them e.g - iron more easily absorbable. (⁠*⁠❛⁠‿⁠❛⁠)⁠→Breaking down the natural sugar present in them, making them less sweet & more healthier. 😰Also refrain from drinking the water you soaked your almonds in.

One of the most famous nutrition Rujutha Diwekar has mentioned in her books to consume raisins soaked water with kesar to curb the cramps during periods and I'm following it more than a year now what are your thoughts 💭💭💭

@Sunitha Bai yes it's true! Some even take date soaked water as well mostly during fasts. Thanks for pointing it out,I meant not drinking the almonds soaked water actually.
